The basis of this conviction Is the following
1 That the Board of Education on June 29 9 ISOi voted to depose deposePrincipal deJMePrineiPKl deposePrincipal

to the duties of that post postThat
2 That the board adopted a report on October 30 O 1905 finding that thatthe thatThe
the principal of the Colored High School hool Mrs Anna J Cooper had intro introduced Introduced introduced ¬
duced text books without authority that she had more than once cir circumvented cirumvented drumvented ¬
umvented the orders of her superiors including the Board of Education Educationspecifically EducationpecltiC4tlJr Educationspecifically
specifically by continuing in the high hI h school pupils ordered to be sent sentback sentbHk
back to the graded schools that
what the principal herself called sympathetic 8mparhetic sym ¬
pathetic methods had resulted in too many and too frequent reexam reexaminations reexamInatIons ¬
inations of weak students in order to enable them to pass from one grade gradeto t tt
to t another and to graduate while In a few instances conditions have havenot hayenot i inot
not been passed off as required that she has not maintained that thatproper thatproper
proper official relation that strict loyalty loalt to the director of high schools schoolsthatshould schoolsthat schoohthatshould
thatshould that should prevail in a well organized org nized system that the superintendent superintendentand superintendentanrldircctor L Land
and anrldircctor director had erred in n yielding ever so slightly to her demands demandsand demandsand demandsand
and that In the face of all these but
findings in view iew of the very verystrong verytrong er3 er3trong
trong desire of the colored race in this District the principal was main maintained maintained maintamed ¬

to the rules ruli of the board
3 ThatIn That in spite of its censure ofthe superintendent and director of ofhigh ofl1igh 01high
high schools and its own extraordinary direction that this principal prlncipalinust prlncipalinustbe must mustbe mustbe
be subordinate it has since permitted her to deal directly with Its indi individual indiidual mdiidual ¬
